The funding is being awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program, which funds local and regional road safety projects that will help prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. Funding for this program is made possible through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that Peters and Stabenow helped enact into law.\n\nThe communities listed below are receiving funding to develop comprehensive safety action plans:\n\nChikaming Township - $120,000\n\nJackson County - $500,000\n\nMacatawa Area Coordinating Council - $240,000\n\n\u201cMichigan drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists deserve to know that our streets and roadways are as safe as possible,\u201d said Senator Peters. \u201cThese important investments will help communities across our state identify roadway safety concerns and take steps necessary to prevent future injuries and deaths.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis investment will give our local communities the tools they need to keep Michigan cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers safe. Roadway deaths are all too common, and this is a great first step to improving some of the most dangerous streets in our state,\u201d said Senator Stabenow.\n\nMore information about the Safe Streets and Roads for All program can be found here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/peters-and-stabenow-announce-860000-in-federal-funding-for-michigan-communities-to-develop-safety-plans-to-prevent-roadway-deaths-and-serious-injuries"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7806469220668077, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
